The SEARCH function would really help you!!

Bilsteins are made for stock springs and "not suitable for lowering springs" according to their manual, but lots of people use them anyway. Do some research and come to your own conclusion.

Call Sam Strano and have the Bilstiens revalved for your springs. Amazing results, with my Ground Control setup.

ive been running kyb 8way adjustable shocks for a while and im pleased however the lower 1-4 numbers seem to be way to soft for cornering but can adjust for the track plus their cheaper the negative thing is with a car being lowered their really hard to adjust because the dial points inward at a hard to reach angle
